people treat papyrus like a child just for having the morals of like, a normal decent person
I mean:
Flowey: yeah ik i'ma kid but, like, βdie or be diedβ dude.
Toriel: i am mother. also although i want to protect my child i will not let them back into the ruins after they leave, nor will i answer any of their phone calls. i will trust the person whose name i donβt even know to look after them.
Sans: hi you havenβt done a single thing wrong but i'ma threaten you anyway. also what, i didnβt break that promise i made to that woman behind the door, wym? i didnβt kill the kid. thatβs protecting them, right?
Undyne: human bad for existing. taste my spears, 8-year-old.
Alphys: please go along with my selfish plan that could put the human in potential danger mettaton i want them to like me.
Mettaton: m'kay but i'ma try to kill them when you least expect it and play it off as a big show lol
Asgore: this is why you read the terms and conditions, kid. it literally says right there βany humans who fall down here get the death sentenceβ
Papyrus: I will provide the human with fun activities under the weak guise that I am trying to capture them with said activities. Then, when we fight, I will do everything within my power to not kill them. I will instead lock them in an easily-escapable shed and pretend to be surprised when they get free so that they are proud of themselves. We will then proceed to become friends whether they forfeit the battle, or beat me, and I will give them my phone number so they can call me if they need moral support.
